Project: New Office Building

Meridian, ID 83646
MTA Project No. 2016
Subject: Administrative Design Review Narrative
To Whom it may concern:
This project is for a new 20,000 square foot (s.f.) office for the Mike Brown Group. We have
followed the City of Meridian Architectural Standards Manual and the Unified Development Code.
The building follows a cohesive design. All four sides of the building have multiple materials,
colors and architectural elements on them. There not a back side of the building. The building
scale meets the L-O requirements and is 35’ tall with 12’ floor to floor heights. The form is square
but has multiple modulations of the façade. The second floor overhangs the first floor and we
have popped out the covered entries. We have incorporated a strong horizontal band at the second
floor level to play off the parapet. There are strong vertical elements on each side of the building
for the stair towers. The materials we are using are stucco, cultured stone, metal, and aluminum
store front. The parking lot contains more parking than is required for this zoning. We have
provided more accessible parking than required and we’ve provided additional bike racks at each
entry. The pedestrian walkways are continuous around the building and through the site.
If you have any questions just give me a call.
Respectfully,
Chuck Tookey
